• I'm making some copy edits and left you a question in the edit summaries. I think you should removed the dates from the book templates and leave only the year, and reference 5's title needs tweaking--I think the name of the publication is part of the title.

• OK, but now the burden is the "1320s" in the hook: I don't see that the article says that those coins (before 1526, I suppose) were called red zloty. If I read this correctly it seems that they were introduced as part of a monetary reform begun in the 1320s--is that correct? If so, the article should identify our coin more clearly in its early stages. Drmies (talk) 14:36, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

The source does call these coins red zloty: Dukat Łokietka, przedstawiony tu w rysunku, jest zatem pierwszym "czerwonym złotym" polskim. - "The Ducat of Lokietek (Wladyslaw), shown in the illustration, is then the first Polish "red zloty"". I guess it's in quotation marks though. I do think a more involved hook would be good.Volunteer Marek 18:18, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

• I just don't think the proposed hook is very sexy. Mightn't Template:Tq be better calculated to catch the reader's interest, with flammable words like "insurgent" and "uprising"? Bishonen | talk 23:49, 2 April 2013 (UTC).

• ALT1 ... that the last Polish red złoty (pictured) were the so-called "insurgent ducats" minted at the Warsaw mint in 1831, on the eve of the November Uprising?

• Note: no need to have two versions of the same hook, ALT1 and ALT2, one with "(pictured)" and one without: the promoter will remove "pictured" if it isn't. I've deleted the otherwise identical ALT2, and struck the original hook, which was not approved by reviewer. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:56, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
